(b. 1973 - Mexico City, Mexico) is a photographer whose work draws equally from the traditions of society portraiture and sociological documentary. Set in living rooms, parlors and boudoirs of Mexico City's new bourgeois, Rossell's images focus on women surrounded by their material possessions and artifacts of taste. These alluring yet repugnant photographs exhibit women theatrically posed in the tacky opulence of their homes. States Nico Isreal of Artforum, "The Ricas y Famosas images feature Mexico City's super-rich looking seductive, uncomfortable or simply bored amid their garish chandeliers, Jacuzzis, and bad art." Most of these subjects, who are friends or family of the artist, are light-skinned members of the country's elite 'European' minority. Rossell includes background details that highlight the contrivance of class through the ownership of symbolic items such as paintings of peasants, stuffed wild animals or servant-like figures. Critic Barry Schwabsky explains, "Rossell is a close and fastidious describer...her minutely studied images seem entirely imagined, even deliriously so. Rossell's subjects reveal themselves as they are or would like to believe they are, and it is perhaps their illusion of distinction that gives the pictures their air of barely contained madness." The artist attended the National School of Visual Arts and has exhibited her work in South America, Europe and the US. She currently lives and works in Mexico City.
